EUZORA COLLUCENS. 



Porthesia collucens, Luc, P.L.S. N.S.W., 1889, p. 1090.

I formerly identified this species with clara, Wlk., 

 Cat. Brit. Mus. xxxii., p. 343, but I note that Sir Geo. 

 Hampson, Moths Ind. i., p. 490, states that in that species 

 the palpi and legs are orange, which is not the case in my 

 example. 



Lymantria antennata. 

 Lymantria antennata, Wlk., Ca,t. Brit. Mus., iv., p. 881. 

 Lymantria aurora, Turn., Tr. R.S.S.A., 1902, p. 181 (praeocc.) 

 Lymantria turneri, Swin., Tr. E.S., 1903, p. 484. 



Aurora = turneri is merelj^ a varietal form. A series of 

 bred specimens shows great variation in the reddish 

 suffusion of abdomen and hindwings. 



Lymantria maculosa, Wlk. Cat. Brit. Mus. iv., p. 881, 

 is a synonym of L. grandts, Wlk., from Ceylon, a,nd the 

 Australian locality may be taken as erroneous.
